Pros
Stability, stability, stability. Great place to be in this economy. We're a dinosaur and move slowly but steadily. These days, that is a real bonus! Great coworkers - cohesive group of bright people. Makes for a good workday.
Cons
Only place that can hire 10 Nobel Laureates and fire 2 by the end of 10 years or so the story goes . . . it is tough to compete and deal with the rating and ranking system in some regards. Most employees have never been "average" before and that can be quite tough. Also, XOM is "one size fits all" - if you don't fit in, leave quickly.
